How does this guy remain off the list of the greatest folk guitar players of all time? Have seen him 6 times...New Orleans...Toronto...Kitchener Ontario...Guelph Ontario, 3 times. He's always been great! Thanks, Chris.
Chris Smithers is an absolutely weird, animated, lovable Genius. One of the best Artists to take the stage. To put yourself in front of the world and do it without fear and live your dream and be that amazing......Mission accomplished. I think that's a goddamn successful life. Checkl!
@@wardy940 @Chris Ward Chris covers dylan, many times, dylan is the goat 🐐 I see him 3 times every when he tours by me. Smither keeps his head down and out of the limelight by choice
Saw Chris in Cork, Ireland so many times in the 90s and 00s and almost every time he started the gig with this song. Incredible performer and I have a ticket to see him in Jan 2019. Whoo hoo!!
Can't you see I can't explain I'm a little like a link of chain Just a ring around another Running in and out again Fly me on a kite line Smilin' like a gold mine I don't need to be right Go to the end And that'll do to hold me tonight Morning rain Make it soon With just a little in the afternoon To hold me like a mother Hang me on the evening moon Send me on a low one Show me how to go one more And never finally decide Go to the end Take it along for the ride Ain't got long I leave for a day Never had a lot to say Tell me like a brother 'Til we throw it all away Sittin' on the sideline Foolin' with a fine line Never need to know the design Go to the end Play it right down to the wire Can't you see I can't explain Link of chain by Chris Smither I'm a little like a link of chain Just a ring around another Running in and out again Running in and out again Running in and out again
The man is a national treasure! Seen him half a dozen times in person...one of the great ones, and he comes across as a *really* nice guy.

I'm younger than Chris, but my ankles, knees, and hips ache after trying to stomp my feet like that for just one song. He makes it look so easy. He must be in great shape, and I need to get up and move around more, ha ha.

It's generally encouraging, no matter what it is your're looking at, to watch someone at work who knows what they're doing.
I was today years old when I found out about this person. His voice and delivery are amazing. This guy has no idea how rock n roll he is! Wow!
Today for me. Great find.

Chris Smither is absolutely incredible. Such smooth, technical guitar work. Golden but gravely voice. Outstanding lyrics.
Amen, Bro!
Chris Smither is a national treasure!
Can't understand why he isn't a household name like Simon or Dylan; he's about perfect.
@@jamespeterson2690 You are an idiot and an anti-Semite. Your comment is gone.
Bob Dylan was a great songwriter, but not too great at playing the songs, imo. He can't play like Chris smither, that's for sure.

Theres nobody like him Hes just a unique human being His music is just so hard to. Find
Unfortunately, I just discovered Chris this past week. I am now Locked into his style.
Chris is an incredibly strong player.
In a league all of his own. A mighty mighty talent.

Lucky duck!! tese33333@gmail.com
Yup. Going to Leap Castle tonight to see him.
Saw him at the Rory Gallagher Bar in Midleton. Spoke to him. Got his autograph on a CD. A treasured possession. My hero. Great man.
Can't you see
I can't explain
I'm a little like a link of chain
Just a ring around another
Running in and out again
Fly me on a kite line
Smilin' like a gold mine
I don't need to be right
Go to the end
And that'll do to hold me tonight
Morning rain
Make it soon
With just a little in the afternoon
To hold me like a mother
Hang me on the evening moon
Send me on a low one
Show me how to go one more
And never finally decide
Go to the end
Take it along for the ride
Ain't got long
I leave for a day
Never had a lot to say
Tell me like a brother
'Til we throw it all away
Sittin' on the sideline
Foolin' with a fine line
Never need to know the design
Go to the end
Play it right down to the wire
Can't you see
I can't explain
Link of chain by Chris Smither
I'm a little like a link of chain

Running in and out again
Running in and out again
Running in and out again
just how great is this guy. I have chanced upon him on spotify. How have I never heard him before?!
Learned this from his DVD on Homespun tapes. Step by step instruction, brilliant

CHRIS SMITHER LINK OF CHAIN LYRICS
Can't you see? I can't explain
I'm a little like a link of chain
Just a ring around another
Runnin' in and out again
Fly me on a kite line
Smilin' like a gold mine
I don't need to do right
Go to the end
That'll do to hold me tonight
Mornin' rain, make it soon
Just a little in the afternoon
To hold me like a mother
Hang me on the evenin' moon
Set me on a low one
Show me how to go one
More whenever I finally decide
Go to the end
And take it along for the ride
Well I ain't got long
I leave 'fore day
And I never had a lot to say
Tell me like a brother
Do we throw it all away
Sittin' on the side line
Foolin' with a fine mind
Never need to know the desire
Go to the end
Play it right down to the wire
Go to the end
Play it right down to the wire
Can't you see? I can't explain
I'm a little like a link of chain
Just a ring around another
Runnin' in and out again
Runnin' in and out again
Runnin' in and out again

Stomping Tom was another that kept time with his feet .... He wore holes in pieces of plywood .
Their paths had to cross in the 70's .....
Great stuff! Do you mic your stomp board?
I'm not Chris but, yes, does. And stomps with Dave Clark Five ankle boots.
Does anyone know what tuning this is in?
Standard, EADGBE
It's all in the key of fantastic!!!!
3/4 ct
Only issue I have is how the camera switches around too much: this is common by music directors and it spoils it for me. Great song, great singing tho
Miked feet
Open D ?
Great song and playing. Sucks he was using a rather awful sounding piezo pickup on such a nice guitar.
It all sounded good. Quit bitching and just enjoy the music!
